Which is owned by the pair and Lauren Leaderhouse, a luxury pop up shopping experience where not only can you shop amazing brands but also have the opportunity to network with amazing individuals at their monthly events!

The event was breathtaking, from the details in the setup, to the delicious bites, and the amazing women who were so open and embraced meeting new ladies in the rising blogging industry. We laughed, we connected, and we indulged! Not to mention every corner you turned were amazing brands and selections to shop from! Take a look for yourself in the photos posted below and make sure to stop by The Circle located 62 SE 6th Ave Delray Beach, FL 33483 to see their latest brands in store!

Not quite sure but it has been an exciting week nonetheless. Definitely praying this new chapter of my life is full of fearlessness and consistency! I spent my birthday evening with my closest friends (with Meeks in spirit) and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! We went to Avant in Delray Beach located at 25 NE 2nd Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444. I’m not sure what I obsessed over more the Orange Glazed Salmon or the Blue Crushed Velvet Couches!?!

I really loved the setup of the restaurant which has a combination of front patio seating, the main dining room, and a back bar room with additional seating (also aesthetically pleasing for photos). Not to mention all the artwork is from local artists and available for purchase!

How amazing is this crushed velvet seating!?!Kellz made it on time! A little Green Tea action…thanks Miguel The girls! Missing Meeks

https://sessionsstyle.com/2018/02/28/re-adjust-your-focus-a-birthday-fail/#respondWed, 28 Feb 2018 05:57:42 +0000http://sessionsstyle.com/?p=1894Everything was off to a wonderful start, or at least so I thought. Waking up, working out at a new facility, I was excited. The class was challenging but extremely rewarding even though I couldn’t feel my legs by the end of it. Nonetheless I was still soooooo ready to take on the day. So confident in fact I wasn’t even dreading the DMV, thinking “oh how long can renewing your license honestly take” LOL who was I kidding! After waiting a total of 4 hours I was O V E R everything and everyone! I kept tossing the idea of doing a birthday photo shoot the last three days around in my head and it actually started to overwhelm me. So when the DMV literally took a majority of my day I was over it, over pictures, over birthday planning, over a lot and I couldn’t figure out what my aggravation was stemming from!

I took some time to myself and called my friends and finally I was like you know what Natalie you want this, you want the pictures, you love dressing up just do it! So I go and buy IG worthy birthday balloons and gather my emotional self to get dressed. Finally meet up with my friend Natalie and guess what! The “2” balloon POPS! I literally lost it! The only number left was “4” and that’s exactly how I acted! I fought the balloon! I’m talking claws out lets goooooooooo! Then deciding to just say screw it! I’m going to take the pictures any way. In these moments before the tantrum, during the shoot, and afterward I could feel God tugging at my heart but I was too self-absorbed and worried about my birthday and my shoot and things that didn’t really matter. He was telling me to re-adjust my focus. Honestly writing this and seeing how the photos came out I’m personally shocked at how much God was trying to speak to me! To stop worrying about ME and look to the Lord. I didn’t realize during the shoot but after taking time to pray and looking over the pictures I came across one that reminded me of PSALM 121(posted beneath the picture).

All I can say is God has a funny way of bringing you back to him and I am so grateful for those moments. To remember it isn’t my movie but it’s God’s and if I would live my life to glorify him and not myself. So I’ll just end in a prayer…”Lord thank you for your faithful LOVE, that you watch our every steps and know our every struggle. Thank you that no tear goes unnoticed and that your Spirit guides us. Lord I ask that you would guard our hearts from ungratefulness and worry and instead let our focus be fixed on you. Lord thank you for allowing me to see another birthday! I pray this one comes with even more growth. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!”

Sometimes the vision is there but your focus is off, its time to re-adjust!Balloon fail post temper tantrum

Psalm 121 : I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?2 My help comes from the Lord,the Maker of heaven and earth.3 He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber;4 indeed, he who watches over Israelwill neither slumber nor sleep.5 The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand;6 the sun will not harm you by day,nor the moon by night.7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life;8 the Lord will watch over your coming and goingboth now and forevermore.

Happy 24th Birthday to meeeeeeeee. If you read all of this you a REAL one! Blessings on Blessings!

Treat Yo Self was an opportunity to mingle with different creatives and artists stretching from Miami to West Palm and a chance for you to buy yourself or your beau something unique for Valentine’s Day….if you still do those sorts of things. J/K LOVE is totally in the air….or is that the Sangria talking?!

The event was amazing, seeing different groups mingle together while artists shared their purpose and passions behind their work was inspiring to say the least. Everyone who attended and signed up through Eventbrite was offered a free wonderful glass of Sangria and oooo was it G O O D!

This time I had the pleasure of supporting & assisting a good friend and stylist in styling the models for Ramona LaRue (a Miami designer brand) for this year’s Delray Beach Fashion Week!
Setting up for Opening Evening Wear Show (2018)

All looks were designed by Arianne Brown right out of their Midtown location in Miami Beach! What’s amazing about this designer is that she takes the time to beautifully hand paint all of her prints bringing to life what it means to be a strong, powerful, and alluring woman. I was also able to capture a few other designers like Amanda Perna and Glavidia Davis from the shows and I’m extremely excited to share with you all the amazing shots!

https://sessionsstyle.com/2017/07/26/rejuvenate-your-skin-with-mineral-clay/#respondWed, 26 Jul 2017 12:00:16 +0000http://sessionsstyle.com/?p=1664Skin care has become a major interest of mine in the last three years. After experiencing unwanted breakouts which lead to scarring I desperately searched for a solution. Discovering how sensitive my skin was to certain products I finally found what worked for me. I like to call it a miracle in a jar, the Mineral Clay from Natures’ Symphony has done wonders for my skin. However I ventured away from the product for about 8 months trying different combinations of cleansers and my skin suffered as a result.

The Mineral Clay is a product I will always stand by; I know when I want to try new cleansers and they fail I can always come back to my routine of the Mineral Clay and Dermagel (a spot treatment moisturizer) to rejuvenate my skin. The clay deep cleanses and helps draw and dry blemishes and the Dermagel is an aloe vera gel that helps minimize scarring. Take a look at my results after using the Mineral Clay and Dermagel for only two months below!

One last thing, this product might not work for everyone but it sure has worked for me. Skin care isn’t only about what you put on your face but more so what you feed your body. I have a TERRIBLE sweet tooth which leads to breakouts and I could be better at drinking more water. Therefore if you’re suffering from acne you may want to evaluate your diet first before trying a handful of products.

I personally love the 4th of July because I’m a sucker for sparklers and BBQ. I mean what more do you honestly need? However every year I have the same dilemma of “what am I going to wear”, I always strive to be patriotic in Red, White, and Blue but somehow every year it’s a struggle. You would think I’d be well prepared by now but nope! I’m not exactly going for full blown American Flag like the 1999 film Dick but I still like to dress the part.

This year I’m opting for a casual striped button down and a cut off jean short

https://sessionsstyle.com/2017/07/03/how-to-rock-your-band-tee/#respondMon, 03 Jul 2017 03:32:02 +0000http://sessionsstyle.wordpress.com/?p=1337Ok! Ok! So I’m guilty, I’ve never actually jammed out to Van Halen but who says I can’t support them? Well when a random but loyal fan of theirs walks up to you saying “That’s a SICK shirt” and continues to rant about their favorite songs it may be an issue. Although I found just smiling and nodding intensely will suffice, just smile and nod, just smile and nod I repeatedly told myself. What am I expressing here? Nothing other than what to do when you rock a vintage band T-shirt and don’t know any of the songs =)

Not quite sure how to turn your ordinary tee into a LOOK well i’m here to help! I’m sharing with you three different ways you can wear your vintage rock T-shirt or ordinary graphic tee. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, if you naturally venture to jeans try a different bottom of choice, bringing us to the first look ROCKER GLAM.

ROCKER GLAM

Pair your T-shirt with a feminine skirt to switch up your look. I went with this rusty orange skirt which falls right below the knee and once I noticed the pockets I was sold.

To complete the look grab your favorite pumps and viola you’re edgy but still classy, best of both worlds.

COOL CALM & COLLECTED

For the next look, I wanted to be a bit more casual ya know, cool, calm, and collected. Therefore I went for a slouchy boyfriend printed pant. These pants happen to fall right at my ankles but to make it more relaxed I cuffed the pant to my mid- calf.

As far as shoes go, I went for an everyday heel to keep that casual feel yet the heel still dressed it up a bit. The heels i’m wearing here are by Franco Sarto from Nordstrom and they are extremely comfortable!

DENIM BLUES

You can never go wrong denim and I mean NEVER! Jeans go with pretty much any and everything. I love these because of how they fade into a lighter wash towards the hem.

Also a pair of ripped denim would’ve been perfect too but I’m waiting on the perfect pair by DYLANTHOMAS as seen in my previous blog NAKeD with Debilzan

I always like to accessorize and make the outfit true to my style so I went with some fun snake skin wedges and my favorite cheetah belt to make it bit more fun! If you don’t know the story behind this awesome belt make sure to check outGot it for the low low

I also re-designed the shirt, when I first got it I literally could’ve worn it as a dress (which maybe could’ve been another look), so I cut it into this awesome crop style. I will be uploading a DIY to help you take your ordinary oversized T-Shirt and turn it into a go to piece in your closet very soon so look out for that.

https://sessionsstyle.com/2017/07/03/giving-you-the-blues/#respondMon, 03 Jul 2017 03:31:59 +0000http://sessionsstyle.wordpress.com/?p=1440With Fall in full effect, I have finally embraced the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte to Fashionable Fall trends. Generally speaking I tend to stray away from trends and do my own thing along the lines of boots in the Summer and honestly whatever I really feel like. This time around I think i’ll dabble with the trends but with my own twist of course.

With Velvet on the rise this Fall season I couldn’t wait to put this little number together!

This electric blue dress is actually a Long sleeve shirt, size Large but I am wearing it as a dress. Due to the sizing, my petite frame was getting lost in all of this outfits glory so I grabbed a suede navy wide belt as both an accessory and as a way to cinch my waist for more definition.

Simple and chic, paired with an open toed Steve Madden heel to dress it up a bit. You can also shop this look —> HERE
